Author Guidelines

1. Ensure that the manuscript fits the journal's focus and scope and has not been published or submitted elsewhere.
2. Use the official JLN article template and follow its structure, formatting, table, figure, citation, and reference instructions.
3. Provide an informative title, author names and affiliations, corresponding-author details, abstract, keywords, introduction, methods, results and discussion, conclusion, acknowledgements or funding information when applicable, conflict-of-interest disclosure, and references.
4. Remove author-identifying information from the review file when required for double-anonymous review, while entering complete contributor metadata in OJS.
5. Report research methods and results transparently. Provide ethics approval, consent, permissions, funding, data availability, and competing-interest information when applicable.
6. Check every in-text citation against the reference list and obtain permission for third-party material.
7. Upload an editable manuscript file and any supplementary files through the official online submission system.
